That's quite odd lol, I've sent a request to have that actual business' information updated (pending review). ( In case you're unaware, our host is the actual OVH @ https://www.ovh.com/ca/en/ 🙂 )

Hey everyone, I hope you’re all enjoying the stuff on Pineapple (for those unaware, we’ve released a new patch on our test server, dubbed Pineapple, check out the patch notes here). It's time to talk finances again. There are two additional recurring charges this month; as mentioned last month, we have engaged a law firm (more details below), and the first invoice from them has come through. Additionally, we will be purchasing one more Advance-1 server to act as a security appliance after a recent incident within the wider community. -- September Breakdown Last month we accepted $3,695.82 in donations - $585.55 over our target for September. After our 1&1 bill increased by $10 this month, we were left with $575.55 in overrun which will be put towards our expenses for the month of October. Here’s what the funds from the September donation window went towards: $4,717.40 to OVH for our recurring hosting costs $96.00 to Google for our G-Suite Business account $40.00 ($10 higher than last month) to 1&1 IONOS for domain and outbound (server) email services $10.00 to Atlassian for Jira Cloud (10-user) Here is a screenshot of our payments / expenses since the last donation window: -- October Breakdown As previously mentioned, we have added one additional server (an Advance-1 w/ 1gb vRack upgrade) to act as an additional security appliance for our network. This will be an additional recurring cost of $102.99, bringing our new monthly total to $4,966.39. Here is a new breakdown of our recurring (monthly) expenses: $4,820.39 to OVH for hosting expenses Up $102.99 from previous months due to the new A1 $96.00 to Google for our G-Suite Business account $40.00 to 1&1 IONOS for our domain and outbound (server) email services $10.00 to Atlassian for Jira Cloud (10-user) As mentioned last month, we have engaged a law firm to assist us with the necessary legal work that’s required as we work towards our goal of creating a stable, long-term server for the community. They will primarily be working on new versions of our public legal documentation (Privacy Policy, User Agreement, etc) as well as providing legal advice in various other areas. Expect us to have additional legal fees each month moving forward. The first invoice from them totaled $1,326.04. As stated in our September donation post, we cannot provide a screenshot of this invoice as it contains a large amount of personal information for many of our team members (to the point that the entire invoice would have to be redacted). -- After applying the $575.55 overrun from September to October’s expenses, we’re left with a donation target of $5,716.88. As of the time of this post, our donation system will be open. As in previous months, once the donation target is met the donation system will automatically close. Thank you for all of the support! We’ve now hit our fundraising target for the month of October and donations are now closed. Thank you yet again for the continued support!

Another 7 accounts have been permanently banned.. Wonder how many times it'll take for them to give up? 😛

Hey all, Today we issued a ban wave to a number of accounts involved in RWT (Real World Trading - the act of exchanging real money for in-game goods and services). This is explicitly against the Code of Conduct: All accounts caught selling have been permanently banned, with no possibility of appeal. All accounts caught buying have been suspended for 2 weeks and had all influence removed from them. A total of 54 accounts have been actioned as part of this ban wave, with over 20 billion influence deleted. We are now fully capable of tracking down RWT activity going forwards, so we would advise you do not partake in such activities if you wish to continue playing on Homecoming. - The Homecoming Team

Try relogging your character, that should fix it.

The manifest server is back online. Thank you for your patience 🙂

While we certainly appreciate you looking out for the community, we're definitely covered on finances thanks to the amazing community and their donations. That said, placing ads on the website is not something that we'll be doing.

Sure this is something I can throw together; I was actually already contemplating this myself 🙂

I did mean specifically in the context of Homecoming since this is what was asked (given the context of it being a question on HC's forums). Anything is possible in code, of course 🙂

https://forums.homecomingservers.com/fotm-powers/ This is a searchable, sortable table of all of the Primary & Secondary powers in the game along with the % of players that took that power relative to the number that took the power set.

No, this table includes every primary and secondary power in the game 🙂

Updated the data / table to swap out internal names for display names and add the level that each power becomes available at.

This is not something that is possible at this time, sorry!

Posted up a searchable and sort-able table of all of the primary & secondary powers along with the percentage of people that took them relative to the number of people that have the power set (all data from level 50 characters only):

After torturing our database servers some more, I decided to generate a searchable and sort-able table of all of the powers in the game (Primary and Secondary power sets that is) along with the number and percentage of players that took them relative to the number of players that have the power set. Note that this data was pulled from level 50s only and that every variation of each power set (e.g. Scrapper and Brute's Fiery Aura) are isolated. The table can be found at https://forums.homecomingservers.com/fotm-powers/ Edit: Some powers still have shortened or internal names rather than their full names. Just search a bit and you should find what you're looking for 🙂 Enjoy!

This was very interesting, nice work!

It is! I swapped a lot of the internal names for their display counterpart but missed that one 🙂
